Challenge day on CCEE Stampers and it is Anne's last week as hostess. Our CCEE1513 theme is March goes out like a lamb (we hope!), so the theme is farm animals if you don't have an image of a lamb.

I cut the rectangle accordion twice out of blue card and 4 times out of designer paper, I then stamped my image and coloured and die cut it with the Katie accordion and another in blue card. I then separated the center pieces from the designer paper & white panel. Adhered them to the blue panels, added the verses cut with the dies matching from the Rectangle accordion. I then added the die cut flowers and flourish and added the gem stones.

Here is a close up of the front panel, the card folds flat for postage.

I had so much fun making this card. I made it using all dies, usually there is a stamped image in there somewhere.

I cut the palm trees once in brown and then green and just trimmed the green part to over lay on the brown.

I then created a Happy Birthday sticker using dies and double sided adhesive.

I made this card for my friend's special birthday, Frances has a huge collections of owls, so I just had to include one. To make the center pop up, I have used the base pop dies from the Eiffel Tower Pop Stand. I then cut two palm trees and two Poppy the owl glued each piece to a stand piece and then attached the to each other on the top so that it looks the same either side of the card. That way it lies flat when the card is closed and then pops up for a nice surprise when you open the card. I then finished front and back of the inside panels identical with the Beach edges and Props 3 sets.

Challenge day with my friends Frances and Gai, this month's challenge was French inspired.

For the front of my card I have used some French poodle designer paper, ECD paris edges, french washi tape and the word Paris.

On the inside I have used the same supplies as the front, but have made a pop up card using the Eiffel Tower pop up die designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs. I added the Rubber Romance French Mademoiselle.

For the background on the center panel I have used shimmer sheetz and Key to my heart embossing folder. The shimmer sheetz was then sanded to reveal the white core. I have also added peel off stickers and micro fine glitter to the front panels. Along with My Favorite things A'la Mode diva.

When the card flips open another A'la mode Diva in a glass, with a spinner key and the words It's party time.

Here is a close up of the dress with its petticoats and gems. When my daughter did Irish dancing the dancing school kept their costumes very simple for they displays and Ceilidhs, many of the costumes were sown by the Mothers group.

Welcome to another CCEE Stampers Challenge. Our new Hostess for March is Anne Harmon and Anne says there is a saying "March comes in like a lion." So Anne has challenges us, this week is to make a card with a wild animal theme.

I don't know about wild but this lion sure is cute.

For the inside I have used the Lorna Label pop up die, designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs , to create a double platform, this is a favourite die and I love this technique. The designer paper is from DCWV and the images are Kanban stamps.

Thanks for looking, remember to go over to CCEE Stampers to see all the other teams creations.

About Me

Hi, I am a rubber stamper/card maker from Australia. I am married with two adult daughters. I use the name Ironlady not because I like ironing but because I like to use my irons when playing golf. Sometimes it is hard to choose between playing golf and rubber stamping.
